It's hot out today. I'm inside in my haven of a room (where there is also air conditioning), listening to the music that saves me.
Song playing right now is For Blue Skies by a indie band called Strays Don't Sleep. The harmonies in the song just make you feel different, a little less scared or a little more safe in the world around you. I don't know maybe it's me.
The tag in the song is what hits you like a ton of bricks. It's simple yet so empowering and moving. Just a simple "I forgive you". It's more of a hook than a tag but it's amazing. This song always gets me thinking about all the people in my own life I wish would say those simple words to me, or the people I should be saying it to.
As this song plays I don't know why but I'm making a list of people these words would effect. I wish I was courageous enough to say it to some friends I've screwed over. Wish I could say the words to my father, who has more than hurt me. I wish my best friend would say these words to me.
The line in the song that totally just punches you in the gut, if you can relate to the lyrics, goes like this.... "What you couldn't do I will. I forgive you." Oh man, that's so mind blowing. It shows character and grace in humanity, yeah bet your shocked those characteristics still exists right?? Me too. That there are people who take the high road and forgive the person that hurt them, even though their not the ones at fault. And for that I would love to get the opportunity to thank Matthew Ryan for writing those words. Words are powerful. Music is powerful.
